SAFETY AND OPERATING MANUAL ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Mini Circular Saw WU420
General power tool safety warnings or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece. c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel. e) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback. f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10oC or less Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
Operating instructions Note: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. INTENDED USE: The machine is intended for ripping and cross-cutting wood and other materials in straight cutting lines, while resting firmly on the work piece. Assembly 1 INSTALL /CHANGE THE BLADE Warning: • Before any work on the machine itself, unplug the saw. • Wear protective gloves when mounting the saw blade. Danger of injury when touching the saw blade.
3) Clean the replacement saw blade and all the clamping parts to be assembled. Slide the saw blade up through the slot and fit it onto the inner spindle. Assemble the blade clamping washer (18) and the spindle clamping screw (17). Use the two spanners to tighten the spindle clamping screw thoroughly.(See Fig. C) The steps involved in changing the blade are the same as the steps used when installing the blade. Note: Remove both spanners after the saw blade is tightly attached.
2 PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig. D) The parallel guide is used for making cuts parallel to a work-piece edge at a chosen distance and can be used from either side of the base plate (9). Slide the parallel guide (19) arm through the fixture(11) to achieve the required cutting distance and tighten the clamping screw (13) with the small “L” spanner to lock into position. Do not over tighten. The parallel guide enables exact cuts along a workpiece edge and can also be used for cutting parallel strips.
Operation 1 TRIGGER SWITCH (See Fig. G) The on/off switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting. In order to turn the machine on, depress and hold the lock off switch (6), then depress the on/off switch (1) and release the lock off switch. Your switch is now on. To switch off, just release the on/off switch. Note: When the machine is not in use, the lock off switch rests against the blade guard in order to block the plunge function and prevent the blade from being exposed unnecessarily.
work piece, based on the blade depth that was selected. Always practice in a scrap work piece to become familiar with this cutting operation. The selected depth of cut is now set. When the saw’s blade is manually lowered, the blade will be below the base at the selected depth. The laser is used as a cutting guide and should form a red line on the material surface that is exactly aligned with the blade alignment indicator (12). Press down the laser on/off switch (5) to turn on the laser.

Note: Pay attention that “+/-” of the batteries are the same as the illustration on the machine. 4 CUTTING GUIDE (See Fig. K) The blade alignment indicator (12) in the front of the base plate is used as a cutting guide. Always guide it along the cutting mark made on the workpiece for accurate cutting. Note: It is best to carry out a trial cut. J5 J5 Function 1 MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS (See Fig.
K L MAKING RIP CUTS (See Fig. M) Always use a guide when making long rip cuts with your saw. You can use any suitable straight edge clamped to the work or the parallel guide that is included with your saw. 2 POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY) (See Fig. N) This operation requires much skill with a saw and must only be carried out by a qualified person. Clearly mark the area to be cut. Set the depth of cut on the saw (See M Fig. H1).
Working hints for your circular saw Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Periodically clear dust and chips from guard and base to ensure proper performance. If your Versacut becomes too hot, please run your VersacutTM no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage under strenuous cutting loads.
Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Causes Environmental protection Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist.
